Voltages running high...why?

The voltage readings for the ASUS socket 775 P5GD1 motherboard are running high as monitored by an ASUS utility called PC Probe. 12v is actually 15.503v, 5v is actually 5.537v, 3.3v is actually 3.28 (this one is okay) V core is 2.832v and the mobo temp is 33C.

Can anyone answer if this is normal and if not how can I correct it.

The CPU is an Intel P4 3.2 Ghz (P540), PSU is an Antec 450w ATX 2.0 that came in the Antec Sonata II case. HDD is a SATA 150 Maxtor 250 Gb. Two optical drives are on IDE with 80 conductor cable both set to cable select. GPU is a Sapphire X800GTO PCI-E x 16 card, and I am running 1 Gb DDR 400 memory.

Any information would be appreciated...I am not trying to over clock, all settings in BIOS for the CPU are set to auto.

Thanks

What do the voltages read in BIOS?

Bios readings are much better....V core is 1.44 3.3 is 3.296 5 is 5.120 and 12 is 12.355 It looks as if the PC Probe utility is useless, or for some reason is not reading correctly.

Software readings are notoriously inaccurate. Trust the BIOS readings over software ones.
